Honey Chilli Salmon Side

Honey Chilli Salmon Side

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

Honey Chilli Marinade:

  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1-2 red chillies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

For the Vegetable Bed:

  • 2 large onions, quartered
  • 1 medium squash, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1-2 red chillies, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 250g small tomatoes (e.g., cherry or grape tomatoes), whole
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, chopped chillies, garlic, ginger, and smoked paprika. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Salmon:
    • Place the salmon side on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
    • Pour the honey chilli marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered onions, squash slices, potato cubes, sliced chillies, and whole small tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Spread the vegetables evenly on a separate baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast the Vegetables:
    • Place the tray with the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelised. The small tomatoes should begin to soften and blister.
  5. Bake the Salmon:
    • After the vegetables have been roasting for about 10 minutes, place the tray with the marinated salmon in the oven.
    • Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, depending on its thickness, until it’s cooked through but still moist. The salmon should flake easily with a fork.
  6. Assemble the Dish:
    • Once the vegetables and salmon are done, remove them from the oven.
    • Arrange the roasted vegetables on a large serving platter as a bed.
    • Carefully place the baked salmon side on top of the vegetables.
    • Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve the honey chilli salmon side with the roasted vegetables, and enjoy!
